single minded devotion.

 Andal’s single-minded devotion and its growing intensity over time
A young girl Andal, distinguished with the left-side hair bun, wears the newly made flower garland meant for Lord Vatapatrasayee, and sees Krishna with her in the reflection in the well. Before she asks him to promise to be with her, he is gone. She goes to the temple she sees the deity. She stares mesmerized, recognizing her bangle around his wrist in uninhibited delight. lead to Andal’s dream of the wedding rituals. Andal’s longing  ‘Karpooram naarumo’ pasuram when she addresses the conch asking him whether the fragrance of Krishna’s mouth is like camphor or the blossomed lotus flower. 
Andal sinks into viraha seeing Krishna everywhere and the sounds of the cuckoo and others bother her physically. Krishna finally appears before Andal. Andal’s happiness is infectious.
